Spectacular Spider-Man #5

Dec 2003 · Marvel · 2.25 USD; 3.75 CAD
“The Hunger Part 5”

In "The Hunger Part 5," Spider-Man faces one of his most desperate challenges yet as Eddie, gravely ill from cancer, becomes the unlikely key to a dangerous plan—convincing the Venom symbiote to permanently reattach to its original host, not to save a hero, but to spare the life of one of his most enduring enemies. Written by Paul Jenkins and brought to life with sharp, dynamic art by Humberto Ramos and Wayne Faucher, this pivotal issue pushes Spider-Man to the edge of his moral limits in a story that’s as emotionally raw as it is suspenseful. The cover by Ramos and Faucher captures the tension perfectly, hinting at the stakes without revealing a single moment of the outcome.
